                          Input file:

    1 line1\
    2 line2\
    3 line3\
    4 \
    5 line4\
    6 \
    7 \
    8 line5\

Desired output:

    1 line1
    2 line2
    3 line3
    4
    5 line4
    6
    7 line5


Is it possible with POSIX ed?

Removing the trailing backslashes is easy, but how can I also handle consecutive blackslashes as expected output?
